#Writersblock can be a real killer, so if you’ve found yourself stuck then it might do you well to read how other writers have handled it.

This is a fun exploration from @worldanvil.bsky.social of the “Tiffany Problem” of #worldbuilding and how to avoid it.

As with so much in life, a great deal of #writing comes down to forming good habits. A. Howitt has good advice on how you can develop these for yourself and get pen to paper.

Sometimes it’s best to just let your characters talk if you need conflict in your story. Becca Puglisi at @annerallen.bsky.social explains why.

Singaporean artist Leia Ham reimagined LotR as Tale of the Middle Kingdom, since Chinese name for China (Zhōngguó) means "The Middle Kingdom." Her concept art includes the Fellowship, armors, buildings like Bag End, props like Aragorn's banner and Fellowship brooches, and more. #TolkienTrewsday

It is far too easy to get lost in the minutia of the world you’re crafting and never get around to actually #writing stories. @docsquiddy.bsky.social has good advice on how to keep this from happening.

There are times when you just need to take a break from #writing.

What are we putting into the world with our stories? The answer to this question can give us, and others, hope even in the worst of times.

Memphis is “under full-blown occupation” by ICE. Here’s why you may not know that.

This is a wonderful examination from Blair Austin on the mental spaces we enter when we read.

Anger gets a bad rap, and sometimes that's deserved. Even still, I'm in agreement with Destiny Soria that it can be a powerfully driving force for writing or any other creative endeavor. Via @reactorsff.bsky.social

There’s a fine balancing act you need to manage in any story you write to best determine what information is and is not necessary. Via @mythcreants.bsky.social

Sometimes you've got to step away from the page for a little bit to recover your creative drive, and that's okay. You'll come back stronger as a result.

If there’s one thing I have always hated it’s the myth of the tortured artist.

It's morphin' time! Wait, wrong canon. We're back tonight with Morphs in the Swamp! #animorphs #actualplay #forgedinthedark twitch.tv/valdrianth @archivaldustbunny.bsky.social @arnicaxross.blacksky.app @lycusstratus.bsky.social @fellstrike.itch.io @evilhat.bsky.social

Critique is a vital part of the #writing process, and just as Grace Bialecki says over at @janefriedman.com it’s important to take criticism in stride so your work can become the best it can.

Stories are one of the ways we question and try to make sense of the world. One of the most important questions, in my opinion, is asking if prosperity justifies suffering. I feel this article by Kali Wallace at @reactorsff.bsky.social does a good job examining this.

Rogue Construct Adventurers can be dangerous and unpredictable and any one of them is capable of mass devastation. However, there are reports of R.C.A's that enter a "suspended state". Unless interacted with they stop all actions and only observe. Long range spell sniping is recommended.

There are no windows, no exits. There is only his guilt. #shortstory

It can be difficult to structure a story with multiple main characters. Thankfully, K.M. Weiland has some good advice to help you out.

Trump on Iran War: Reporter: What extent are Americans’ financial situation motivating you to make a deal? Trump: Not even a little bit. I don't think about Americans’ financial situation

This is a fascinating article on #writing poetry.

I’m right there with you, @mollytempleton.com. I love paladins, and there is no reason why do-gooder characters cannot be as nuanced and complex as any other.

If your characters don't have agency, some control over how the story is shaped, then they can feel boring and directionless.

It’s always good to make sure you don’t get so caught up in #worldbuilding that you never get around to #writing your story.

Adalia Lisbet has long lived by the sword, but risks collapsing under the weight of memory when called home to her father’s house. You can find my #novel, Bladedancer, in both #print and #e-book! #fantasybooksky #booksky #fantasylit #indie #selfpub 💙📚
